The Montgomery Montessori Institute (MMI) was founded in 1994 for individuals interested in becoming certified early childhood Montessori educators. Located on the campus of The Franklin Schools, MMI has established a carefully designed early childood teacher education program in response to the critical community and nationwide need for qualified and inspiring early childhood educators.

Anchored in the teaching philosophy and methodology formulated by Dr. Maria Montessori, the MMI program focuses on developmental needs of the child within a context of freedom and structure. MMI's two-phased program consists of an Academic Phase which begins in early June and continues for eight consecutive weeks through early August with classes held from 8:00 a.m. till 5:00 p.m., and a Practicum Phase from September to June. The student-teaching phase provides an excellent internship opportunity in the classroom of an approved supervising teacher. MMI prides itself on a fine student-teacher ratio, and a history of very successful graduates.
